Lockout Page #6

Synopsis: In 2079, in Washington, the ex-CIA Operative Snow is brutally interrogated, accused of treason against the United States. The chief of the secret service Scott Langral believes that he shot the agent Frank in a hotel room. Meanwhile, the idealistic daughter of the president of the USA, Emilie Warnock, is visiting MS One, a maximum security prison in outer space expecting to find evidence that the prisoners are actually guinea pigs of a huge corporation. When one of her bodyguards loses a hidden pistol to the dangerous prisoner Hydell, he subdues the staff in the central control room and releases the prisoners, including his brother Alex who becomes the leader of the riot. Now the veteran agent Harry Shaw offers freedom to Snow if he succeeds in rescuing the president's daughter. But the idealistic Emilie does not want to leave MS-One without the hostages.

Yeah, I'm taking the rap for

something I didn't do, okay?

I didn't put him here.

Who cares?

People die all the time.

It's no big deal.

How many people have died

for you since you got here?

Oh, but you're

the President's daughter,

so you're worth it, right?

Looks like your little PR trip

got all screwed up.

I came here to ensure that people were

being treated fairly and decently,

unlike yourself.

You know, it's easy to be a

saint with nothing on the line.

You wait till you've got

a serious sacrifice to make

and then you'll find out

who you really are.

Most people run for cover.

But not you, right?

No.

No.

You just sacrifice

your friends.

(EXHALES)

LANGRAL:
Sorry, hold on.

You're saying that the

International Space Station

ran into M.S. One?

No, I'm saying the opposite.

M.S. One ran into the

International Space Station.

I thought it was

locked in orbit.

It was controlled by

a geo-orbital technician.

And where is this technician?

They blew him out an airlock.

Look, M.S. One is essentially

a big fly-by-wire system.

Without constant monitoring,

it's basically

falling out of the sky.

What's the bottom line?

Best guess?

Please.

Impact with the Eastern

Seaboard in eight hours.

Can you get me a secure line

to Jack Tallis at Justice?

Bingo.

It's a rescue mission!

That's not a rescue mission.

Come on.

I thought you said

there were two seats.

No, two pods!

You take this one

and I'll jump in

the other one.

Where's the other one?

We don't have time for this, okay?

Just get in.

You are going in

the other pod, right?

I'll be right behind you,

don't worry.

Promise me.

Yeah, okay, I promise.

(SIGHS)

What is your first name?

(SNORTS)

I'll tell you

when we get there.

I'll race you down.

I'll buy you an ice cream.

Sir? We have pod

launch on M.S. One.

(EXHALES) What do you know!

Your deadbeat friend did it.

This your idea of

keeping a promise?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Why'd you get out of the pod?

I realized I might be the only thing

keeping the hostages alive.

Really?

How do you figure that?

My father won't authorize

an attack with me still here.

Have you actually

met your father?

Don't start that.

We have to help them.

Look,I can't,okay?

I would love to,

but I can't.

Mace told me

where the case is.

Bullshit.

It was the last thing he said.

Really?

So where is it?

You help me, I help you.

Oh, come on!

Or are you all mouth,

no trousers?

Fine.

You'll believe what you want.

I wasn't going to tell you, but your

standards of sainthood crap won me over.

Okay, wait. Wait.

I'm a lot of trousers, okay?

Smiler!

There's been a change of plan.

We're going to have

a sing-song instead. Okay?

All right, then.

Come back to me

My sweet, my little Emilie

(GUNSHOT)

Oh, God.

I've not told you

the plan, man.

I didn't tell you the plan.

For every three seconds

you're not here,

I'm gonna kill a man.

Do you understand me now?

So...

Come back to me,

my sweet, my little Emilie

Where have you gone?

Stop!

Tell me where you are

or I kill another one

Please stop!

Emilie.

Hello, sweetheart.

I can hear you're upset there.

I'm bloody upset as well.

I'm sweating like a pig here.

Just stop.

I'll do anything you want.

Well, now,

you're being silly.

I think

you're being silly now.

Let me come and get you.

Tell me where you are

and don't lie. Ever.

Emilie, don't.

Stop killing people.

You tell me the truth now

and I'll stop shooting

your friends. Okay?

Level three.

(SIGHS)

Thank you.

No! God!

No!

Is anybody hiding?

'Cause I'll find you!

It's left.

He was gonna

kill them all anyway.

I don't really know

where the case is.

I just needed you to help me.

(RUMBLING)

Okay.

Yeah.

This is what I was afraid of.

They've been using

the prisoners as guinea pigs.

Yeah, looks like

your hostage buddies

are not exactly

the innocent victims

you thought they were, huh?

Liars everywhere

these days it seems.

(GUN C*CKS)

Don't move.

God, I hate that.

Hello, you two.

Do you know what you've done?

Turn on the comms.

Sir, comms are live.

All channels.

Snowfall?

This is Homefire.

Come in.

(GRUNTS)

Snowfall,

this is Homefire.

Come in.

Can we make this

a secure channel, please?

Snow? Snow, are you there?

Harry, is that you?

Yeah, man. Live and direct.

For one night only. You?

Yeah. Put me

on the guest list.

Did we manage to make contact

with our friend?

Affirmative.

And what about

the thing that you lost?

Did our friend

come through for us?

Negative, Harry.

Okay, don't sweat it.

Look, things have kind

of gone sideways here.

You gotta get out.

I didn't get the girl.

Ain't that the story of your life?

Yeah.

From what I'm reading

on her vitals here,

it don't look good.

There's no way for you

to get back to her

even if she's not

already dead.

M. S. One is falling out

of the sky, Snow.

You gotta get out.

Okay.

Get to dock 9.

There's an ORAM

engineering suit there.

Put it on and get outside.

You'll need to float

around a bit,

but I'm sending someone by

to pick you up. Okay?

I think I'm just gonna

lie here for a while,

and see if it all goes away.

No.

Oh.

All right.

The M.S. One is destabilized.

Let us on board,

or we'll be forced to attack.

Now. You want

to save your skin?

Tell your daddy

to call off the assault.

Or I will set my

brother onto you.

EMILIE:
Dad?

WARNOCK:

Emilie, I'm here.

Emilie ?

Are you okay?

Can you hear me?

Sweetheart?

Everyone's dead.

Blow this dump out of the sky.

Well, sh*t.

(YELLS)

(EMILIE SCREAMS)

You get them back.

You hear me?

You call them off!

Promises are promises, Smiler!

So be it.

HYDELL:
Promises, sweetheart.

Eh?

ALEX:
Leave her be.

That's it, then.

Sir.

You need to authorize

an assault.

Emilie's still on the station.

I know this might

be difficult, sir,

but she's just one hostage.

She is my daughter.

I know that, sir.

Then you know that

I cannot authorize that.

Then I'm sorry, Jeff.

Sorry?

Under Section 4

of the 25th Amendment,

lam temporarily

relieving you

of all your duties

as the President

of the United States

due to the fact that

you are incapable

of placing national security

above personal concerns.

You can't do that.

You need vice-presidential

and congressional approval.

Already signed.

You son of a b*tch!

Thank you, sir.

Scott! Please.

Don't do this.

You'll kill her.

Go. Full breach.

Quarterback?

This is Homefire.

Dropkick authorized.

Full breach.

Moving into assault formation.

Weapons live.

Oh, sh*t!

You said that was

your promise to me!

ALEX:
Quiet,

we can salvage this.

Shut up for a second!

You said that was a promise to me, man.

Not now.

You choose him over me.

You leave me behind.

We've a serious problem

and you're shouting

about this?

You made me look stupid.

Every time I dig us out...

Mommy said you speak too much.

Who's gonna look

after you now?
